Sunday at the Casino

 

Park at the River on the Shreveport side.

We were up at 5:00 am this morning. We have to stay in practice for the work week so when that time rolls around we go ahead and get up.

Sherri was the first one up this morning. I was glued under the covers and could not free myself. Once the coffee was near complete I found the strength to pull myself up. Something about the smell of coffee that will put you on your feet and get you going in the morning.

What was the plan for the day? What would we be doing this fine morning to add to our adventures here in Shreveport. This has been a fun trip here to the casinos and we have all done well with our money. Leslie being the biggest winner but really all of us have stretched our funds out to last and really had fun every day.

This morning we are planning on going to Sam’s to eat the half price breakfast and then walk over to the El Dorado to play the slots. Mike said that he might play a little Black Jack if the tables are right.

After we ate our breakfast…which by the way was really good and way too filling…we walked next door and started playing. It was about 12:00 noon when we got there and it was about 4:30 when we left! I could not believe how long we were there. I started off with $5.00 and ended up with $5.50. I played all that time with that much money and never missed a lick. If any of you out there would like some lessons on gambling on under $5.00 all day just sign up and follow me.

We all rounded up and took a walk down the river to the park. Leslie and Mike had never been to this park and I wanted them to see the river from this side. We had walked the Bossier City side week before last and now we were on the Shreveport side. It was a nice day and the walk did us good after setting in the casino all day.

As soon as we got back to the truck we started making plans for dinner. We were all still feeling the effects of the breakfast buffet so buffets were out. We all decided to find a light dinner and then return home to visit. This would be our last night together for a while and we wanted to spend some time just setting and visiting.

IHOP was the place of choice and we all had a small portion of food. Senior Specials all around was the cry. Then it was home to Leslie and Mike’s for a short time before we called it a night. Sherri and Leslie of course were a little emotional…after all this would be the last time they got together for a time. We all said our good-byes and Sherri left there saying that she could not look back because she would cry…so she did not. Wow it sure is hard having to tell friends good-bye after having so much fun….
